We are the only lodge in the world specializing in tarpon!

Fly-fishing: Top notch pro guides for the great casters with lots of experience. Top notch pro guides for the beginner casters who want to learn and those who want to improve.

Conventional Fishing: We accommodate plenty of guests who don't fly-fish at all and just want to have fun, catch a tarpon with a spinning rod, or just catch something.

GUIDES: We contract exclusively with a few local, independent Florida Keys professional guides. Each of our guides is very friendly, many years experienced in our area, and has the most professional conduct. We have a FFF certified casting instructor on staff willing to give any level of instruction at no additional charge.

A notable attribute of our fishing program is our flexibility. We fish when the fishing's best, at whatever time of day. We commonly split up the day, breaking back at the lodge for lunch and some time out of the sun, then return to the water for late afternoon fishing. With the backdrop of a beautiful sunset, our afternoon fishing can be something of a spectacle.

Tarpon - We sight fish for tarpon in shallow water, usually in less than three or four feet. Most often we pole over a light bottom, watch them approach, and present a fly. Our average size tarpon is about 80 lbs., ranging up to more than most anglers want to handle. Occasionally near the mangroves we get into smaller tarpon, less than 40 lbs. They’re great fun at any size. Last but certainly not least, in some areas of the Keys deep water channels produce lots of very large schools of rolling tarpon. Commonly fished in the afternoon, with the backdrop of a beautiful sunset these schools are something of a spectacle.
